Guys,
I really love this mailing list. For everything, ranging from
highly-geekly discussions to humour and digressions about how to
pronounce "ye" in Old English, through dissertations of the patents
world or Scala. Really. I'm not using any blacklist for topics or
senders; my only problem is time (not only for this mailing list, but
for all my email), so when I'm in time shortage I just decimate threads,
deciding that I won't follow those having topics that are not in my
primary interests - or sometimes sacrificing those that are, but I
really can't follow. OTOH I usually commit to read all the messages in a
thread that I've started to track, much more if I even participated in it.
So, you should understand the bit of frustration e.g. returning home
after five days of no-connections, and finding that most of the new
messages in the thread "Excellent article about Google's..." were either
about Old English "ye", or JavaScript and double usage. But I did
discover a useful, in-topic contribution about FOSS, patents and
standards, that I would have missed if I deleted everything on the spot.
I'm not asking to restrict the range of arguments here - wouldn't be
just possible to apply the old, sane rules of email? Such as changing
the subject when a digression is no more temporary (e.g. "JavaScript and
doubles - was: Re: Excellent article....")? Thanks :-)
